Feeling Loopy
Hearing kids, plus TWO spares!!! LOL
Thankful Thursday and Wednesday Word of the Week!
Aye yi yi yi!!! Still lots to pack, today is after school bowling league, and my hands are sore, swollen, and hurting like HADES! ACK!
Alrighty then... that's enough about that! I am so sorry that I didn't get here yesterday!
Wednesday Word (s) of the week!
I love Latin, and so many Latin words are used direct into English, so I decided to give you a few of them today, to make up for my absence.
Caveat: let him/her beware; warning. As in the phrase 'Caveat emptor', 'Let the buyer beware.'
In situ: means on the site, used quite often in medical field, especially in biopsy.
Quid pro quo: something for something; a trade-off
Vox populi: voice of the people. one half of the expression, 'Vox populi, vox Dei' which is 'The voice of the people is the voice of God'; Often further shortened to 'vox pop'.
Tempus fugit: time flies
And, of course...
Carpe diem: seize the day
... but you all know that one already! LOL ;-)
Now, without further ado, my thankfuls!
1. Coffee. Yup. 'Nuff said.
2. Hubby. He seems to have successfully removed his head from his butt and improved his mood and therefore 'behavior' this week. Last week he was a bear. Ack.
3. The Kids. What a motley crew! LOL They are always my heart, my reason to live.
4. My parents. My rocks that I lean on.
5. Books. I have read some great ones lately! Including, Jim Butcher's 'Small Favor'. Loved it!
I hope that everyone is having a good Thursday!
be well,
Dawn

hmmm, I guess I nknow more latin than I thought. Being a nurse I've exposed to it ALOT. It helps with to have that base to understand Spanish and Italian also.
LOVE you Wednesday Words : )
hugs, Bethe -
My daughter took Latin for 2 years in high school. She actually did better in Latin than she did in English. Her grandfather even found her a Dr. Suess book that was written completely in Latin. Sorry to hear about your hands hon, this rain is playing havoc with mine as well. At the very least I can feel them again. (Hugs) Indigo
